Emmys 2025: The Studio Sets Comedy Record as The Pitt and Adolescence Take Top Prizes

A donation countdown defined a subdued telecast dominated by first-time winners.

Overview

  • Apple TV+'s The Studio won outstanding comedy series and set a single‑season record for comedies with 13 Emmys, as Seth Rogen collected multiple trophies including lead actor, writing and directing with Evan Goldberg.
  • HBO Max's The Pitt claimed outstanding drama series, with Noah Wyle winning lead actor for his ER‑veteran turn and the show capping a late‑season surge over pre-ceremony favorite Severance.
  • Netflix’s Adolescence led limited series, with Stephen Graham winning lead actor and writing, Erin Doherty taking supporting actress and 15‑year‑old Owen Cooper becoming the youngest male acting winner in Emmy history.
  • Severance secured major acting honors, including Britt Lower for lead actress in a drama, while Tramell Tillman’s supporting actor victory was reported as the first by a Black man in that category.
  • Stephen Colbert’s Late Show earned its first outstanding talk series Emmy to a standing ovation, and host Nate Bargatze’s $100,000 speech‑timer donation gambit drew criticism during the broadcast.
